Title: New arrival
Post by: tartonterro on November 22, 2012, 22:31:00
Hi folks,

havent posted in a while with work and other things pressing on my time and the fact nothing is really growing, but I thought id let you know about a new arrival.

At 8.30 on tuesday night my wife delivered a beautiful bouncing  :blob7: baby boy, 8lbs 1oz - not bad considering by all accounts and the midwife/doctors calculations being 3 weeks EARLY.
We have named him Adam Rattray Greenhorn and both him and mum are doing great (ive got over being tired).

Hopefully both will be home tomorrow :icon_cheers:

will post some pics once wife gets home as she has the charging cable away for the Ipad.

Congratulations.   No-one ever told me before Possum arrived how much fun babies and toddlers can be.  It was all tales of doom and sleepless nights and no more freedom.  There is some of that but mostly it's just great so enjoy every moment, make some beautiful memories for your and your wife and baby and take lots of photos.

hi folks,

update on wee adam.

had to be taken back into hospital week last sunday as he had lost 16.5% of his birth weight, dropped from 8lbs 1oz to 6lbs 14oz, normally maximum is 10 to 12%.  put on 200g in first 24hrs and a further 45g in the next so was back out on the tuesday = phew.

just had the health visitor in and he is back up to 7lbs 12.5oz so well on the way to being a big boy lol

his big cousin is in doing his photo's just now so hopefully get some more pics up soon.
